Maybe we need to retire them the best way.

Well we can't expect them to vote themselves out..

They don't vote for themselves, so that's a given.

Now now that sounds a bit glowie

This plan is about 70 years too late.

It’s never too late for a constitutional amendment

When they’ve stopped obeying the constitution...it’s too late.

I’m very sorry to inform you that the constitution has been toilet paper for decades.

The 15th and the 19th worked sooooo well.

Which one of those was the alcohol thing, and which one was suffrage for women? Honestly I don't know, I've been drinking all day and I'm too drunk to care or look.

We also need to eliminate direct elections of Senators. That has resulted in the media having more power in deciding our legislatures than the people.

While the private corporation board members laugh all the way to the bank

We need to nullify the 17th amendment, and return to state legislature appointed senators, and we need Term limits. Doing so will remove 50 - 70% of the corruption in our elections instantly. It would lower over all government corruption by 40%.

How do you supposed making certain candidates illegal is going to help anything? California has term limits on all of it's Legislature and it has done nothing but make the problem 100 times worse.

It would lower over all government corruption by 40%.

It will do the exact opposite. I can prove it with simple probabilities.

What's the probability that any given candidate for Congress is a crooked dirt bag, 90%? That means each election has a 90% probability of electing a crooked dirt bag. That also means a 10% chance of electing an honest guy. When you finally get that honest guy he's termed out after 2 terms. That means if you live to 90 you will get 1 honest guy over your voting lifetime. With term limits you'll get a maximum of two terms of honest Senator. Without term limits you get as many terms as he'll run.

The other bad thing about term limits is it increases the number of lame duck terms. 50% of the time your Senator is a lame duck. Why are they going to give a fuck about anything?

Incumbent handicaps would work better as really great politicians could still remain in office and it would tip the scales towards favoring their voter base.

Need to deal with the congressional pension system first though, or it'll bankrupt us even faster.

Why the fuck would any freedom-loving person support the government making it illegal to vote for certain candidates? How much more communist can you get? It's like making large Cokes illegal because fatties can't stop drinking them. Fuck that.

I think that is what the left is planning.

Nepotism will still exist and have to be dealt with, as well.
